Pocket Dyno App Results
 

Disclaimer: These results were gathered on a very secluded back road. if any of you want to give me gruff go for it, i'll just ignore you.

So this app seems to be pretty accurate considering it is just a phone. You have to input specific vehicle and driver weight. I launched the car anywhere from 4500 to 5200 RPM. The app was free in the app store. Pretty darn easu to use too.

I did four runs and these are the overall results of the four runs:

These next screen shots shows the summary of my best run (14.7):

:happy0180:

very nice i downloaded the app a month ago but still havent tried it.. what did you input for weight in the setup?

The curb weight of the car (all fluids etc...) is 2760 ish, plus my weight of 190lbs (in cloths, shoes, and cool shades LOL)

weight inputted is 2950 lbs

Oh yes, i will be pushing this car over 3000lbs ;) haha

time to stop eating and cut like 50 pounds from its weight! (I would look like such a weirdo..gangly like this guy :iono:)

How I secured my phone:

1. Put the cup holder all the way back
2. take a microfiber (or something similar) and fold it up and place it in the little cubby infromt of the cup holder.
3. wedge the phone in ontop of the mocrofiber

(you will see that this secures the phone quite nicely)

I'd just stuff it in the smartphone cubby underneath the radio :D

Those results look extremely accurate for a bone stock FR-S.

So the app just uses the phones GPS to come up with the numbers? No hardwire or bluethooth connection to the OBDII?

Just curious. I am old skool (and just old). Do not have a smart phone although all my kids do. I still think phones are used to talk to other people on. Who knew they are not for talking but rather for texting and monitoring your car's performance? :w00t:

If you use the Torque app for Android smartphones, it will give you this and MUCH more information accurately, including but not limited to RPM's, Speed, boost, coolant, intake temp, oil temp, the list goes on and on.

However, because it gives you this incredible amount of information and the ability to erase CEL codes, etc, it costs $5.99; but very worth it.

Pocket Dyno is very good for being Free.

Thats exactly what I was thinking... it is fun to play arround with.

now how can i mount my phone securly on my CBR600RR... I want to see some 1/4 mile times of 10.8 secs and some 0-60's of 2.8 secs:party0030:

The App uses the GPS in conjunction with the accelleromiters (SP)

how the hell does it gather all that information without plugging into the car??? or does it plug in???

if it plugs in how does it gather all that info through a USB port??? or do you need to buy a special cable?

too many questions???

It plugs in via OBD2 port and sends data thru bluetooth to an Android device with the Torque app installed.

^cool!!!! But technically that makes it a $30 App.:paddle:

Theres a free version of the app too but yeah. It still beats multi-hundred dollar scanner tools.
